Every year, Popcorn Initiative produces a custom-made Holiday ornament for their clients and vendors. Their last effort was an adorable birdie — like the one found chirping on their web site — produced by Lilly Pottery and delivered in a thin tin emblazoned with a very nice letterpress label that hints at what’s inside. With four PMS colors in the letterpress job, the result is a rich and layered illustration on top of the always popular Letra line by Cranes. Plus, I’m a sucker for things with yarn or rope.
